Description

Imagine cruising down the open road in a 1968 Ford Mustang GT500KR Tribute, a masterpiece that captures the essence of the original while incorporating modern enhancements that make it a true standout. This Shelby GT500 KR recreation is not just a car; it's a work of art, meticulously crafted to embody the spirit of the late 60s muscle car era while offering the reliability and performance expected in today's automotive world.

The heart of this beast is a Prestige MotorSports 427 Small Block Ford engine, a 351 Windsor-based stroker that has been meticulously blueprinted to produce an exhilarating 520 horsepower. Every component has been chosen for its quality and performance, from the AFR cylinder heads with 58cc chambers to the Scorpion Racing 1.6F roller rocker arms, ensuring that this engine not only delivers power but does so with the utmost precision. The hydraulic roller camshaft, boasting 227-241 duration and 547-531 lift, adds to the engine's high-performance credentials, while the Canton oil pan and Headman headers complete the powerhouse setup.

This GT500KR Tribute is not just about raw power; it's about delivering that power in the most refined manner possible. The Tremec TR-3551-TKX 5-speed manual transmission offers smooth and precise gear shifts, paired with a Modern Driveline hydraulic clutch kit and a Stage 1 clutch with an ARP high-performance flywheel, making every shift an experience. The Borgeson power steering upgrade ensures that this powerful machine handles with grace, while the Ford 9-inch rear with a 3.25 Traction Lock differential ensures that the power is effectively transferred to the road.

The car's exterior is a visual feast, finished in a stunning Honda Motorcycle Blue Metallic (Code B197M) that gleams under the sun, accentuating every curve of this iconic body. The fiberglass GT500 hood, complete with Scott Drake Shelby hood locks, adds a touch of authenticity and aggression to its stance. The 15-inch Cobra wheels wrapped in 235/60R15 radial tires not only enhance its classic look but also provide excellent grip, ensuring that the power under the hood is matched by the performance on the road.

A true Shelby is not just about looks and power; it's about details, and this Tribute doesn't disappoint. The polished aluminum serpentine belt system, CVF aluminum polished hood hinges, and detailed engine bay are all testaments to the no-expense-spared approach of this build. The MagnaFlow dual exhaust system with an X pipe delivers a throaty roar that commands attention, while the Lucas fog lights with covers and Shelby GT taillights add to its vintage charm.

Step inside, and you're greeted by an all-new Saddle Tan interior, a luxurious environment that contrasts beautifully with the car's bold exterior. The TMI deluxe door panels and seat backs offer both comfort and style, while the Shelby roll bar and power convertible top bring an air of authenticity to the driving experience. The deluxe wood panel dash, complete with a Dakota Digital 5-gauge assembly with a carbon fiber-style face, combines classic looks with modern technology, providing all the information you need at a glance. Comfort isn't sacrificed for style either, with the Old Air Products AC/heat system, complete with a defroster, ensuring that you and your passengers remain comfortable in all weather conditions.

Underneath, the attention to detail continues. The red oxide undercarriage is not only a nod to the car's vintage roots but also ensures durability and longevity. Welded subframe connectors add rigidity to the chassis, improving handling and performance, while the ACP Radiator MaxCore 2 Row Performance and electric dual fans keep the engine cool, no matter how hard you push it.

This GT500KR Tribute is not just a car; it's a statement. It's a car that turns heads wherever it goes, a car that demands respect, and most importantly, a car that delivers an exhilarating driving experience. Whether you're a collector looking for a showpiece or a driver looking for a car that can provide the thrill of the open road, this Tribute is the perfect blend of classic style and modern performance.

And with only 3,158 miles since its full rotisserie restoration, this GT500KR Tribute is essentially brand new. The clean NJ title ensures that it's ready to hit the road, and with a build of this caliber, it's more than ready to take on any challenge you throw its way. This isn't just a car; it's an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, meticulously recreated for the modern era. So, fire up the engine, feel the power surge through your veins, and prepare to make every drive an unforgettable experience in one amazing Shelby GT500 clone that's ready to turn heads.
